FORTUNA Quest was a project where I was gonna record 429 songs. One song everyday during 2013, one song per week in 2014 and one song each month in 2015 and post the experiences of all of them. It was uncompleted in the second year after 281 songs recorded. Here you'll find all the songs and experiences of everything that happened between 2013 and 2014. Enjoy it!

1st of November - Whistle Snare (305th Song)

Well, here I am, in Madrid again, with millions of boxes full of stuff, new rooms to fill and good expectations. I'm very tired and I unpacked just few things of a random box, no instruments in that one, CRAP! So I opened my snare drum case and did something with it.

Thoughts: I was thinking of playing something with the snare drum played with my stick but when I was tuning it I whistled against the skin and there was an amazing effect occurring, the mix between the whistle, the snares and one default harmonic together trapped me and I just imporvised something mixing whistle and some hits with my hands. Really crap stuff but I wanted to record that before something can happen and that sound disappear. If it doesn't I want to record it with different mics and capture the magic of that sound. And, of course, rehearse my whistling and prepare a song to highlight the sound.
